Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
FAT 20041 is not a sensitiser.
Executive summary:

A guinea pig maximisation test was performed to determine the sensitization potential of FAT 20041 according to OECD Guideline 406 and EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation).

No positive reactions were observed in the animals during the challenge phase either when treated with bidistilled water alone or when treated with the test article at 25 % in bidistilled water. FAT 20041 is therefore, classified as a non sensitiser in albino guinea pigs.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

An in vivo guinea pig maximisation test was performed to determine the sensitization potential of FAT 20041 according to OECD Guideline 406 andEU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation).

No positive reactions were observed in the animals during the challenge phase either when treated with bidistilled water alone or when treated with the test article at 25 % in bidistilled water. FAT 20041 is therefore, classified as a non sensitiser in albino guinea pigs.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data of the GPMT selected as key study, FAT 20041 does not warrant classification for skin sensitisation under the CLP (1272/2008) Regulation.
